With all structural posts in place, the 35' beam installed and the first wall raised on the second floor of our A-Frame cabin addition, we turn our attention to the 13x28 block safe room. We have 620 12" block that need to be laid before we install the steel beams and pour the concrete ceiling. This is part one of the block room build with hopes to complete the project in one week.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

12 hours, crazy. There's definitely not a billion or 2 people that do that 5-7 days a week. Surely not.
Erin had EARNED so much respect for all the hard, hard work she has done to keep the project alive. She's right there with Josh, block for block. Erin, you rock.
I love that the boys are more included in the building of the new section of the house.
I have watched you guys since you were clearing the site. All three of yours kids were merely babies. I cannot get over how they have grown…and now are helping where they can. You have a wonderful family….always keep the laughter. We are married 55yrs…and laugh at and with each other always.😊 Best videos on line.👍
I admire how you guys look at each other with so much love...
Hands down, two of the hardest working people on KZread. The reward when it's all finished will be so sweet. And kudos to Erin for going beast mode on those heavy blocks! A lot of women (and even men) would balk at trying to lift and move those around like that.

Unfortunately I think I saw on one of TNM videos that they had to shut down their business and get out of the country.
I admire the way your entire family is involved. Great stuff guys.
Finally, more block work! You got this, guys!
So impressed! You guys are crushing this build! Awesome that you are working with Nomadic Movement. It's so cool that all of my favorite families that I follow are all working together. Love it!
I don't know of anyone better to provide extra lighting than our very own electrician. Safe room is more like a bomb shelter. I hope the weather stay fine for you. Love from Mike. ❤
Amazing work by the both of you, I had a similar build and unfortunately, I had to do it all myself. Teamwork makes the dreamwork and you two show that in all regards. Beautiful to watch.
You two must be very STRONG.....in more ways than one,,,,Love the things you do here.
I love watching the two of you work. What a team! Great work, guys. I hope to see Jordan and Kalie meet up with you on their cross-country trip soon.
It's a hell of alot of heavy stressful work but keep in mind the benefits. Your family's safety and well-being
So much you two kids have achieved! It boggles my tiny mind! But here's the thing I find most incredible - your amazing relationship with each other! Most of us poor chaps hope for a lifetime for such a love. It all shows up in your children. You guys! Erin, you are such a strong, focused amazing woman, and Josh? Oh man, you're just every homesteading woman's DREAM! ROCK ON YOU TWO! WOW!
So impressed by your monumental effort at laying all those blocks. Did this exact kind of job as a younger man and I know your pain. Hands tense up from all the weight that you've lifted through the day until they no longer function properly. My shoulders, back and legs used to cramp as I lay in bed trying to rest the night after coming home from work. Four courses are no easy feat and I commend you both. Erin, you are a beast and amazing!!!! Josh, rest up and drink lots of coffee!!! You'll need it.
Thanks guys, keep it going!!! One block at a time, you’ll get there 🥰🤗🥃🥃🍺🍺🍹🥤🍫🥤🍫🥤🍫
Nice to see your young men taking part in the building of there home, life long memories
You two never cease to amaze me with your work ethic and determination. I always look forward to your next post.
I always love seeing the whole crew pull together on a big job - You guys rock!
I love you both, you are so natural, please don't change, don't modify yourselves for marketing reasons, what you are doing now in the end will benefit your wonderful children. you have my appreciation, always. Excuse my english, maybe ungrammatical in American speech. i am from Romania.
You guys are the happiest couple of all time!
The team pulls another Amazing rabbit outta their hat!!! All hands on deck..even Miss Ellie working as a cement apprentice!! Wow!! Awesome job guys! Rest as ya can ,eat,shower..c ya on the next video!!!! 👍🐺🧙♂️!!
Mama has skills. For the unmarried bucks, she is a great example of a great woman. Congrats to the husband to securing mom. Thrown in the kids too great skills.
You both are awesome! The CAN DO FAMILY!! Blessings.
The energizer bunny has nothing on you two lol! ❤❤
I'm a senior today but in my 30s I took on a job where all day 13-16 hours/day, in freezing Utah winter weather, we were lifting 150-250lbs all day. We worked in teams of two. I took the job because it paid twice what all other jobs paid at the time, but mostly because they said a 'woman' couldn't do this job. I was one of 112 crew and only female. I remember that 7 days a week 16 weeks straight fondly and boy did I sleep well each night in my van conversion. My point of sharing this is to say you remember hard work and it always pays off. Your family's work ethic will reward you for all of your days.❤
Hey look at you guys,wow what a great team ,by the time you get this addition done you’ll have an entire construction crew,many blessings to all of you!
U guys say it all...."THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CAN'T"! ERIN U ROCK !!
You're right. I don't know too many guys that could sling block like that all day! She's in Beast Mode!!!! Great video!
I am always impressed after an episode with your family,This is how families should be pulling together 😊,I bet you are glad for those AG1 supplements...Trust me when you get to the end of a long road and you look back at the distance you've covered, that is one of the most satisfying feelings. Oh and I loved to see your little cheer leader ellie cheering on the big lift😁...keep the great content coming.Btw did the cow actually get pregnant🤔???
Just gotta say that I loved the sunglasses and attitude of your youngest boy.....awesome....and tell the little one she did a good job with the trowel work!!! She looked motivated, HUGE contributor. Awesome family working together. Errin, Josh is correct when he says most men couldn't do what you are doing. Long hours. Good job everyone
Been looking for y’all all weekend! Things are coming along. Everyone looks well. See ya next week! ❤❤❤❤❤
You guys continually blow me away with your dedication and hard work!
Erin can out work me when I was young and more, so now I am over 60. :) Please wear a mask when cutting block. :) Thank you and have a great week.
Just the help from your boys is worth its weight in gold . Most men couldnt do the work you all have done. Its gonna be a awesome feeling when its all done. 😅
You two are so good together, and funny 😂❤
she is really strong hard working person and she doesnt affraid of construction work with wood or concrete blocks.He is lucky guy to got her and she is looking good as well,gosh nowadays not many girls like she is .God bless you both and keep going with that project with enjoying healthy living in the forest .
Erin is super woman way to go lady. Not many woman could do the work you are doing. Plus take care of your family and house. You two make a great team. Plus your kids help it's good to see family that helps out. ❤
You guys got this. Each block is consistent in weight and dimension. That is a huge advantage in strategy. Climbing a tree that needs to be removed, there is nothing consistent about that kind of work. Count your good fortunes, and use heating pads on your aching muscles. As long as you don`t hurt yourselves in the beginning, your muscles and tendons will adjust, as well as your technique in managing the work load. Hot baths and massages are good way to help each other, and changing around which side of your body handles the load, throughout the day. Know when your muscles are fatigued, and adjust to other muscles, or take a rest. Eat light during the work, and guzzle water and air.
Josh drooling 🤤 over the expresso was hilarious. When he says “magnificent”, I lost it😂!
You have both done so well. 🎉. This is the first time I’ve seen you both look exhausted. No wonder what with the Cafe and home
Josh! Congratulations. I was able to understand 100% of your words in this video! Nice work!
Some people talk a good game but you guys walk the walk. One day you will sit back on your rockers looking at your beautiful house and say "remember when", great job guys.
This is definitely one of those jobs best paid for,,,,, it kills all who enter. You guys are crushing it.
By golly Ms Molly! You guys are unbelievably hard workers! My arms hurt watching!
Erin, Beyond Wonder Woman, far, far, FAR beyond. I cannot believe the endurance of that woman. Mother, and Wife. And I cannot even remember when I first started watching you all, but you were in a trailer, which could not keep up with you all on the property. But you all are amazing. 90% of men could not keep up with her. I hope you get some good sleep.
What a team, you are lucky to have one another. 👩❤️👨👍
Your family is an insanely powerful warrior team. Stay safe and rested☮️❤️👏👏👏👏
Sir, you have an awesome mate that can do what she does. Like you said, most men couldn't keep up with how hard she works. Yall make a great team!!
Incredible Family effort. Love the colab with Kaylee and Jordan.
I’m so excited seeing you work with The Morning Movement. Great name for your cafe. I’ve followed them for as long as you, three years plus. Bless you all. 😊❤🙏
Great work. Even without filling the blocks with concrete the safe room will last a tornado if the ceiling is also from concrete. So, if you fill the blocks don't forget to insulate the wall from outside.
NOT A BIG DEAL GIRL.....I've been following you for past 3 years....always find a way to make me laugh and smile...God bless you and your beautiful family.
Erin your core strength will be incredible by the time you’ve finished all your building work 🙏👌
Before my current IT job, I worked construction for many years, and most men could not keep up with Erin. Erin is a trooper and so determined. Way to go, both of you!
Josh said it right for sure when he said Erin can outwork most men. She’s definitely one of the hardest working women I’ve seen. She’s a remarkable person. Josh and Erin both are highly intelligent people who work as hard as they are smart.
Super great to hear Josh give a wee bit of acknowledgement to Erin for her tremendous work ethic. She.Is.Amazing.!!!

i did years of building and remodeling homes . we always hired out the masonry work . what we could do in a weeks work the brick layers would do in one day . the 8 inch block is bad enough but 12 inch is murder .. good job guys
You taught your son (white gloves) how to pick up heavy items. From the legs. 12:04 Great job !! I love your channel. You two are amazing.
Nice experience! Thank you for sharing! Greets from Ukraine!
I haven't watched you guys since making the porch. Been too busy making our own stuff at home. You almost have another house and all those kids look so much older. Crazy how time flys!
Unbelievable progress with the addition! And congrats on the top recognition to the Chapter House on Airbnb!!
Glad you finally went back to the block, I've been getting worried since soon it will be too cold to mess with mortar.
Your show is one of the greatest love stories ever told.
Erin is amazingly strong and Josh kicks butt too🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Josh and Erin.. so glad you are collaborating with Haley and Jordan.. I recently went to Stowe to see their Roastery and plan on coming to see your new cafe. Erin.. you show me what I recently learned.. we tell the brain to command the body what to do.. your strength is mental more than physical to me.. why I admire so much!! Josh you are a lucky guy too!😁
You reminded me of a project I did with TWO masons, one mortar mixer, and one laborer and colectively we threw up 861 split face block 16 x 12 x 8 weighing 55 lbs each. Boy, do I feel for you guys. It hurts me to think about that project! The only up side was that it was for an addition to a volunteer ambulance squad at which I was an EMT...and now a mason's helper!! Courage folks!!
The Nomadic Movement spilled the “beans” that you’re gonna have coffee, I want to order some!! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a cute couple! Erin, the worker bees are the females. You rock!!!! I don't know where you two get your motivation except from each other. What a team!
That little lady is amazing! Nice work team!
Every family- home build needs a cheer leader. She’s growing so fast.
GET AFTER IT! You've got this in the bag! 👊👊👊
You guys are just animals of the highest order. You just make the best team. BIG LOVE. 😎
Getting dark earlier is a bummer for sure. Don't over do it. Last thing you need is to hurt your back lifting block. Be safe. Looks great so far. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are MACHINES! I don't know how you do it. Amazing!
Wow!!! first time i ever saw you two look beat amazing you could still manage to laugh. I will say Erin's beauty is equally matched by her toughness ...simply amazing!!but why should i be surprised Josh is one lucky guy!!
Good job to your children. Way to step up and help your parents. Bravo zulu
If there's a company that builds exo skeletons for builders. This is a perfect channel to showcase their product.
I just got my 2 bags of coffee today and I have to say, it’s amazing! I made white chocolate mocha with it and peppermint for the wife. I highly recommend their coffee. I’ll be buying again. Best coffee I’ve had since I lived in Europe.
That’s a hell of a lot of block
Nice the boys are old enough to learn and actually be good help. Quite a lesson for them.
Good to see the boys helping out with the build
You have awesome kids and you are teaching them so much more than just reading writing and arithmetic life skills are very important to awesome work Dad and Mom great job kids
